Getting that club like feel isn't too hard. Just costs a little bit of money, but in the end it's really worth it! ( if you read my last post you should be familiar with how to make some money. so if you don't have money give that a try )
so what do clubs have that my home probably doesn't have?
1- A bar.
2- Lights. ( not talking about regular house lights, you'll understand later on)
3- A DJ.
4- Bouncers/ security
5- Bumpin Sound system.
6- Sound Proofing.
7- Dance Floor.
now thats just a list of the obvious. But we'll go off those for now.
I'll start with the easiest and work up to the most difficult.
1-LIGHTS
Depending on the quantity and quality, the lights will be the easiest to get. Once you have them, they're yours forever. Now when i say lights I'm talking about LIGHTS. Yea, you could go basic and use colored Christmas lights and tape them around the perimeter of your ceiling. You could even buy small strobe lights for cheap and use those. But in the end... Those get old very quick. ( If you choose to use Christmas lights, i'd advise getting neon blue, green, or look for special ones. Such as chili pepper lights, ext. )
Heres a photo of what you should get... Laster lights/ rotating lights.
Now you may be thinking, " That will cost me way to much money. "
wrong!
You can find cheap laser lights, rotating lights, ext. Use Ebay.com, amazon.com, or some of the following websites that I've Posted just for you.
1- CheapLights.com
2- LasersAndLights.com
3- ChinaVasion.com
4- EffectLighting.com
Thats just to name a few good websites. Know of any better sites? feel free to comment and share it with us!
2-SOUND SYSTEM
This could be very costly. But once again, once you have your sound system it's yours forever as long as you take care of them. Try your best to avoid cranking them up and blowing the bass!
now if you have a nice sound system, it will make a DJ's job a little easier. All the DJ will need to bring is his/her tables, mixer, and laptop along with a few wires. and usually all that will fit into 1 or 2 bags.
Onto deciding what kind of speakers you might want. Theres hundreds of brands to choose from, i'll try and break it down to types and portability, ext.
Depending on your home/ party environment you have to make a few decisions. (Ignoring sound quality)
1. Do you want them mounted on your wall around the house? (cant move without tools)
2. Do you want tall speakers that rest on the floor? (can get knocked over)
3. Do you want speakers that will rest on a stand? (they are heavy, portable, but take up space)
4. Do you want Speakers that can basically fit anywhere? (large variety. I'd go with studio monitors)
Those are the basic types.
Now onto deciding where to buy them. You could go to your local Bestbuy or guitar center.
There you will be able to get hands on and almost 100% of the time someone in the store will help you with your purchase and should be an expert. But those stores wont have everything!
Theres tons and tons of websites that have large varieties of Amazing speakers for you to choose from. Hers a few!
1- ProAudioStar (one of my favorites)
2- Musicians Friend
3- Guitar Center
4- Planet DJ
5- CrutchField
All those sites together should pretty much have everything you need from hi end sounds to booming bass. A few key words to look for (Besides Speakers) while on their websites would be PA speakers, sub woofer, studio monitor, floor speaker, and i'll throw in one more, outdoor speakers (Just in case you want to take the party outside).
Now you can determine the quality you desire. A forum post you might want to look at. ( it starts by someone asking how to find good quality speakers, and its explained perfectly by the responders.) hope it helps!
Do I know if my speakers will sound good?
Stay up to date for part 2 of this post!
